Is there a sun and shade map for David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium?
Not yet. The east side is still being rebuilt in 2026, so no survey shows the stands as they are now. We only publish seat and sun data measured from a survey of the stands as they are now, so this guide sticks to the schedule, parking and stadium policies until a newer survey is flown.
